Sources of Pharmaceutical Mergers Online
Regular readers know that I try to keep on top of mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. It is hard to keep up and recently I found several free sources online that list mergers.
Trevor Laird had an editorial in Org. Proc. Res. & Dev entitled Company Names Changes (pdf) which mentions many of the larger changes up to 2002.
Signals Magazine had a list of both pharma and biotech mergers but it is somewhat old being from 2000.
Pharmalive had an article which mentioned there were 230 mergers and acquisitions in just 2005 but they only list a few.
Drug Discovery & Development magazine has a regular Reed life Science News that lists alliances, collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions. Here is a list of the search results. Here are the results for 12/8/06.
C&EN had an article back in 2002 entitled DRUG DEAL-MAKING DYNAMICS CHANGE which has a table of mergers but again this is from 2002.
A search of Biospace gives a list of search results for mergers. This link should always give the most recent 100 results for “merger” within Biospace news. They also have a category for all merger and acquisition news. This is the best way I know of to keep up on what is going on in this area.
I hope anyone interested in M&A activity in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry finds these sources useful. If anyone else knows of other good sources, please feel free to leave a comment.
